without questioning the rights', of 'others. The death of the Senator from Marlboro. a splen did man, caused the progressive people of that county to seek for a representative who would be a honor to such a county-a county known the world over as the champion cotton grower, and, which stands at the top in. the educational column, they called upon John L. MeLaurin to come out from his retirement to take the place, when he con sented. it was with the under standing he would after his own ideas make an effort to construct such legislation which will be of help to the farming interests, and the first move made by him was an effrt to get South Caro lina to commit herself to the policy of giving sanction to a warehouse plan by which cer tificates could be used to bring about a cheaper rate of interest, and by a means of holding, and managing the marketing of the product, the farmers would be fortified against frensied specu lation. The measure he intro duced is still pending, opposi tion to it developed from a source that might have defeated it in the past session, and there fore he preferred to let it go over until the coming session to give the general assembly full' time to study its provisions, so as to be in a position to combat the vagaries of political antago nism which is sure to arise from men whose calibre does find a receptacle for statesmanship or business principles. We have no idea whether Mr. McLaurin will consent to stand for the nomination, if he does, we are sure he will not wish to be designated as a factional can didate, we think this because of the broadness of the man, and his ideas ef statesmanship. Should he consent to stand for the nomination he will have as his supporters men of all voca tions in life. He will especially appeal to that element of our citizenship that is looking for some one to be placed at the head of the government who will endeavor to do things for the public welfare. THE LAW'S DE.AY IS TRESOME. As was surmised by The Times last week the attorney for Willie Bethune has secured an order from the Chief Justice staying the remittitur for 30 days to give him time to prepare a writ of error and such other steps to perfect an appeal to the United States supreme court. This will have the effect of staying the sentence of the lower court to which the case was remanded for sentence. If the case goes to the United States supreme court it may take years before it will be known whether or not Bethune will be executed for the murder of Mr. G. B. Mims, be cause, if the court decides the point at issue on this appeal, there are many other ways for an attorney to have another hearing. One of the great pleas for a new hearing is "after dis covered evidence." A plea of this sort was made before a court once, and the Judge asked the lawyer "of what does this after discovered evidence con sist?" The lawyer replied "he had discovered his client had several hundred dollars left." And so it is as long as money is furnished to make the fight there will be a means found to1 keep the law from being put into operation. This case has been and con tinues to be, very expensive to the people of this county; how much longer the taxpayers will have this expense to bear we cannot say; there is no law which would authorize the 1. mn tentiary authorities to put the prisoner to work to earn his support and thus relieve the taxpayers, and under the cir cumstances Bethune is a boarder and not a convict, for every per son is presumed to be innocent until finally adjudged guilty, and as long as this case is pending the prisoner cannot be treated as a convict. We believe it would be for the best interests of the county and in the furtherance of justice for the friends and relatives of the deceased Mims to petition the Governor to commute this sen tence to life imprisonment; If such a commutation is accepted Bethune would be made a con vict and forced to labor for the. State. and the people of this county would be relieved from a further board bill. We realize how the Mims.family feel, they naturally are aggrieved at the laws delay, they have a right to so feel; immediately after the murder when feeling was at a high tension these people with remarkable restraint depended upon the law for justice, they, like good citizens should always do, wanted the law to take its course and mete out the punish ment the crime deserved, but after years of waiting the penalty for which Bethune was convict ed does not seem any nearer being paid than it was after the first appeal, and too, there is no telling how many years this condition will remain, therefore we believe it will be the part of wisdom for those directly inter ested to ask for a commutation on the ground of saving to the taxpayers further expense, and to themselves further anxiety. Tbc Sumter Item after having been? put in possession of a com parative statement between the onsumption of liquor in Sumter county during the days of the ispensary and the present time, cmes out and aligns itself with those who are fighting the re establishment of the dsesr AN UNWISE ORDER. We cannot agree with the Gov ernor's recent order requiring the counties to take back al prisoners from the penitentiari which are in that institution fo safe keeping. Our objection i: simply this: The penitentiary i better fitted for a human being' long continement than the aver age jail, if a man is in the hand of the law for trial, it is not tb purpose of the State to inflic punishment upon him until h has been regularly tried and con victed, and it is the duty of th State to make him as comfortabl as it can pending his trial, at an, rate, he should not be subjecte< to having his health impaire< because of ill ventilated buildings such as the average jail is, bu even where these institutions ar properly ventilated there is ni opportunity for needful exercise The Governor refers to the Be thune case from this county This prisoner being kept in th penitentiary is a heavy tax upoi the people it is true, but if he i brought back and boarded in jai there is no assurance the tax payers will save money thereby especially, since the law in it intracicies permits so much jug gling with technicalities to de feat or delay its enforcement. It was our impression that thi purpose of taking prisoners fe safe keeping to the penitent;. was to prevent mob law from be ing exercised under sudden im pulse, and we h a v e alway. thought it a wise precaution true, in the Bethune case wi never did believe there would b4 any attempt made to lynch him as those most interested wer not disposed to encourage suc action, and we believe he woul4 have been perfectly safe in this county jail, at the same time, wi would not say he would hav fared as well physically as hi has in the penitentiary where b, is permitted to get out in th, open within the walls, and tak such exercise in the way of labo as he will volunteer to do. Bu the Bethune case is perhaps oni of many; failure to give bond re quires incarceration, and it i frequently the case the charg cannot be heard for several term of court, all of this time the ac cused must remain within thi close walls of a jail, and when hi is tried, if convicted, his physica being is so weakened that i takes much of his sentence timi to get back his strength in tim, for him to render service to the State, or if he is acquitted, ai innocent man has not only suff ered mentally but his healti often has been ruined by thi continement T h e Governor's view tha it is a reflection upon t h i people of the counties to havy their prisoners taken fror them and placed in the peniten tiary for safe keeping we canno agree with, because, the precau tion is invited by all who woull wish the law to be observed, ani when a condition arises whic] fires the public mind there shouli be a place of refuge for the un fortunate who may be accused to escape the wrath of an arous ed people that may have hat their minds inflamed from somi injudicious source-perhaps al irresponsible source, or worse, source with a sinister motive wben at last, the public min has cooled, the accused is showi to be innocent, whereas, had hi been apprehended by an excite< mob, his life might have beei taken, or severe bodily punisn ment infic'ted, while the guilt! made good his escape. The more we think or the re cent order, the more are we con vmeced the Governor has made mistake, he should rescind it ti the extent of requiring all case carried -to the penitentiary fo safe keeping t be thoroughla investigated to ascertain whethe or not it is for the public welfar< and for the best interests of jus tice to the accused. The report published in Sat urday's press dispatches to th< effect that Charles M. Gallowa2 will be made a member of th< civil service commission is grat ifying to the newspaper men of this State where Galloway i: well known and liked. He was formerly a newspaper man anc a good one too. Senator E. D. Smith intro duced a bill in the senate Mon day for the separation of the races in sleeping cars, carrying a nenalty of $500 for each viola tion of the law. This is the firs1 attempt made in congress to pro vide for a Jim Crow sleeping car. There has been consider able complaint recently from the travelling public because of negroes being.allowed to occupy berths in the sleeping cars run ling through this State, and under the law there was no way to prevent it because the legis lature had no jurisdiction over interstate travel, but if congress enacts a Jim Crow law the Pull man's will be compelled to pro vide either separate coaches or divide up the cars so that the objections will be removed. If there is any reliance in the news reports Irom Atlanta the famous T. B. Felder, who fig ured extensively in the graft prosecutions in this State, and who made many charges against overnor Blease, and had the lictagraph used to discredit the overnor and others, is about to et into the toils on a bribery :barge through the dictagraph means. Felder is shrewd one, md if those whbo are after him bave succeeded in getting any avidence which will convict him f crime they must have crawled mp on his blind side. WANTS A COURT VINDICATION. The suit brought by Colonel Roosevelt which is now in pro I gress at Marquitte, Michigan, r against a newspaper editor who e the Colonel claims published 1 libelous statements reflecting i ; upon his private character and 3 asks for $10,000 damages as a - punishment therefor, is attract 5 ing wide attention, no doubt, be a cause of the prominence of the t plaintiff in this action. It is a a recognized fact that Colonel Roosevelt is not after the money he sues for, that is only neces a sary to carry out the form of his r prosecution, but he wants to I impose a punishment upon the I newspaper editor whom he . claims violated the privileges of t the press when he invaded his a private character by publishing > false assertions. The newspaper 1 editor charged that Roosevelt was drunk during the campaign of 1912, and that it was not in- I a frequent for him to get in sudh i a condition. 5 While newspapers are privil 1 I edged. as they should he for i the public good, to bring to i light the acts and doings of pub 3 lic men, they are not licensed to go into the privacy 6f a man's - life unless they can show that I such privacy is obstructing the public welfare. Regardless of whether Roosevelt is addicted ,o strong drink or not we do not think a newspaper should blazon - to the world his private move 3 ments in which the public has no concern; there are many men a in ptblic life who drink liquor, a but this is nobody's business so longr as their drinking does not a trespass upon the rights of oth I ers, and if this editor slandered I the colonel he has as much right ; to seek the protection of the a courts for vindication as any a other citizen. 3 It sometimes happens that a a newspaper publishes m at t e r a which if permitted to go uncor a rected will be damaging, and r when in our legislature a bill t was introduced requiring a news a paper to print as conspicuously the reply of an aggrieved party 5 as was the original statement we a endorsed it. because it was just 3 to the parties concerned; if thia - was the law it would be a protec a tion to both the newspapers aa a well as the public, and newspa I pers would exercise care in the t examination of the matter which a is to go into their columns. It begins to look as if there is something in the rumor that has been from time to time publish ed relating to the appointment of Capt. W. E. Gonzales to a foreign appointment, probably t the Cuban ambassadorship, as a he has sold his beautiful home in SColumbia to Col. August Kobn. 1 Gonzales would fill such a mis sion with credit to this govern t ment, and we have no doubt his Sappointment would meet with general approval throughout Sthis State. There is no man Swho worked harder to bring about the nomination of Woodrow -Wilson, and there is no man who has been more loyal to the nat ional Democratic party than SCaptain Gonzales. He has the Spersonal friendship of Secretary 'of State Bryan, and too, he is in Sthe confidence of the party lead ers all over the Union. 3 President Wilson does n o t I fancy 'the presence of the lobby Sat Washington, and he did not -fail to let it be known. The rep Sresentatives of the many inter ests whose products will be af -fected by the Underwood tariff measure have flocked to the cap t itol to urge thA Congressmen to > go slow lest their industries will Sbe crippled. At every legisla r tive body in the union it has been rthe practice for individuals and r interests to attend the sessions a watching for legislation calcuia -ted to affect their interests, and of late years there has been a great cry against this practice, mainly by the politicians who used the argumeut against the other side, but how there can be any prohibition of citizens going to the lawmakers to present ar guments for or against legisla tion we cannot see, as the consti tution permits the right of peti tion. $100 Reward, $100.

McLaRIN MENTIONED FOR GOVERNOR. In Monday's News and Courier from its Columbia correspon dent,-appears a very interesting news letter, which surmises that Ron. John L McLaurin will be a candidate for governor next year. Nothing on the subject has come from Mr. McLaurin, -but it is assumed that W. P. Beard has been travelling about the State feeling the sentiment of the people to ascertain who they would want to succeed Gov ernor Blease. and has found Mc. 6 Laurin sentiment. Tiere is no question' that Mr. McLaurin would make a splen dii governor. He is a statesman high order, a man of affairs inthe business world, he is in lose touch with the farming in is well known, and that a hehas been a close student of heir needs is also well known, butthe order of the day seems ' be intense factionalism, as a resultthe people lose sight of acation. We regard a con dition like the present unfor aisnate, because, when factional ism runs rampent over t h e ountry, the interests of the peo not considered-one side sinon the other as enemies Wobe trusted, and it matters is proposed it is re -without its merits being of. w.. are the people- to rid I of such a condition? - Tbe best way is for the men both factions to be honest Swith each other and see to it that couservaive men are selected, -was done years ago by 1 t ry Movement that result nwiping out factionalism ar scie of bitterness. Hon. -McLaurin was the in of the Forty Movement, he who proposed it, and iwas'he who used his then jiowrfulinfluence to make it a ~amecess, and, because of tjhis ~ ~~ndmany of the oldtimers -~ whosepolitical lease of life de ~ eaded upon keeping the people ~ and in a state of frenzy, ~~~cnspredto bring about his ~Ite1destruction and drive ~in rom the arena by raising Scry of Commercialism, udpesing the unthink 2Zugwith the idea that McLaurin ibdgone over to the Republicans d5bcauseheadvocated ideas which ~ C"-wr¬ born of political ex ~1 eiiency,but of sound states, >manship. The very theories then advocased by him, and for which ~ e was anathematized by every small politician thropughout the SState, are today the strong ~ plnksin the platform of the leaders of the Democratic party in congress. Leader Underwood evsjust as McLauin as se~ethe only way to give to 'heAmerican people, especially i ct~eotton growers of the South. aust~sho'wing for the transpor ( akon of their products, is for the government to encourage tebuilding of American ships ttake to the high seas and carry American products in competi-. Stion with foreign vessels. Mc nv ~arin as a student foresaw this - e.~- ountry's unequal opportunities, . that the southland was a great sufferer from transportation f a eilites, because of being prac tcally a one crop country with atemoving facilities monopolized; hec'deavored to arouse con gress to come to the rescue of this southern industry, and have the government to subsidise Amercaan ships the same as did Germany and England, whose oicean carriers by this advantage, bad driven the Stars and Stripes - rom competition, thereby plac ing this product of the South in the grasp of the transcontinental -railroads, and the subsidised foreign ships; it was this kind of statesmanship which brought upon hiin the prejudice that caused him. to retire from the political field. He knew his enemies were in the saddle, they h ad the machinery, and it would have been folly to have at that time, gone before the people to defend his course in congress. Today, however, while there is a different kind of factional division, yet, the State is divid ed up between two opposing -factions, as intensely bitter as the divisions created in 1890; whether the coming contest next year will have the man who both sides can center upon with a purpose to wipe out factional division remains to be seen. For the task of undertaking such a desired result we know of no one better qualified than John L. McLaurin of Marlboro. He was not identified with either of the contending factions last year that aroused such intense feeling, and so far, it has never been said who he voted for, whether Jones or Blease, but his personal vote was about all -of the support he gave. He Lwas not in active politics then but exercised his right of citi znship-to vote as he saw fit, I AOT TO PROVIDE FOR RURAL POLICE MEN FOR CLARENDON COUNTY. SECTION 1.
